CVE-2026-80550CVE-2026-80550
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/vfio_ccw: Fix out of bounds check on CCW array
The routine ccwchain_calc_length() counts the number of channel
command words (CCWs) that are chained together in a single channel
program, and rejects anything larger than CCWCHAIN_LEN_MAX (256) CCWs.
The loop itself is "do..while (count < 257)", and while the logic in
is_cpa_within_range() correctly adjusts between the 0-index array of
CCWs and the count of CCWs starting at 1, this means it would look
at a possible 257th CCW before ending the loop and (correctly)
returning an error.
Fix this by restructuring the loop to break as soon as 256 CCWs
(thus indexes 0-255) are examined, without looking at memory
outside the range.
